Walking Through the Doorway of Africa, Dakar, Senegal

Canadian Cara Haberman met American Jed Fix while attending university in New York City. After graduation, she landed a job in New York that held her work visa to live in the states, while he went to Senegal with the Peace Corp. After two years, Jed returned and both held jobs in international development in New York when a job offer that was too good to pass up came to Jed from Dakar. So Cara decided to leave her job, and risk her US work visa, so she could go with him. Cara has never been to Dakar and Jed is concerned that she doesn't quite understand how difficult life can be in a developing country. Although Jed had lived in Senegal, it was in a tiny village, not a big city like Dakar, so this will be a new experience for him too. Until Cara finds a job there, they will be living off of one income, so they may not be able to afford what westerners are used to, although they are looking forward to a much bigger apartment than their tiny one in New York. Take a walk on the wild side with Cara and Jed, in Dakar, Senegal.
